Oregon Wine Review 2007 WillaKenzie Estate, Estate Cuvee Pinot Noir - Our next wine, a 2007 WillaKenzie Estate, Estate Cuvee Pinot Noir, comes to us from the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The Willamette Valley, south of Portland, is one of the most well known regions and home to many of the top wineries.

Chasing the Yellow tail - You might have seen the ads on TV.  "go-to...  house party.  I'll have... the yellow tail."  Aimed at the younger upscale adult, this wine is currently very popular and easy to find.  It's also affordable, at around $7-8 a bottle. Well, let's give it a try...  I'll have the yellow tail. Specifically, a non-vintage Cab... - 2012/05/20

Robert Mondavi 2008 Fume Blanc - This white from California was shared by myself and a couple of friends. According to the bottle we were to be prepared for "pear, melon and spice." To our surprise, we had a completely different, though very positive, experience. Our first taster, let's call him Big Al, did notice a spicy aroma and a taste that started spicy but noticed other sub... - 2012/05/06
